Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Smoked sausage
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sear the sausage rounds on both sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the crock pot, add the kidney beans, cannellini beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), and diced onion.
Add the minced garlic, barbecue sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and chili powder to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Add the browned sausage slices to the crock pot and stir gently to incorporate.
Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Stir the mixture occasionally if available to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve warm with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
